What BizAway Does

BizAway is a corporate travel management platform that lets companies book and manage business travel — flights, trains, accommodation and car rental — in one place. The platform is backed by 24/7 in-house human support, pairing proprietary technology with payment, flexibility and AI-assistant features.

Company Background

BizAway was founded in 2015 between Italy and Spain by Luca Carlucci and Flavio Del Bianco. The company is structured as an Italian benefit corporation.

It serves more than 2,000 companies across Europe and the Middle East, operating from eight offices across Italy, Spain, Albania and the UAE.

Growth Strategy

BizAway pursues a pan-European growth strategy that combines organic expansion with acquisitions. In 2026, the company acquired Dutch travel management company Uniglobe Alliance Travel — an example of the acquisition-led component of its expansion plan.

Why Debt Financing for a Travel Platform

Debt financing is a common instrument for travel businesses, where working capital requirements can be significant. Corporate travel platforms often handle booking volumes, supplier payments and settlement flows that require liquidity. A €10 million debt facility led by BBVA gives BizAway additional capital to support its operations and growth plans without the dilution associated with equity rounds.

Market Position

With more than 2,000 corporate customers and a footprint spanning eight offices in four countries, BizAway operates at meaningful scale in the European corporate travel market. Its combination of proprietary technology, human support and acquisition-driven expansion positions it as a consolidator in a fragmented travel management landscape.

The backing of BBVA, a major European banking group, adds a financial-institution relationship to the company's capital structure as it continues its pan-European strategy.
